The Millwall Brick is a serious truncheon made out of a carefully folded newspaper, invented by English football hooligans who were getting all their other weapons confiscated at matches.

Lots of people have pointed out that the TSA has embarked on a fool’s errand by confiscating our liquids, multi-tools, lighters, matches, etc — a lethal weapon can be improvised out of dental floss, a laptop battery, or a newspaper. And here’s proof.

Say that tomorrow someone attacked a flight attendant and tried to get into a cockpit with a copy of the Wall Street Journal. Would the TSA ban newspapers on airplanes? How much longer are we going to let crazy people (terrorists and the TSA) drive our national policy?

the dead trees industry has enough problems already. they certainly don’t need a war on newspapers
